The Silver Chime ‎#57

57. Jesus, Shepherd of the Sheep

1 Jesus, Shepherd of the sheep,
Watch around his flock doth keep.
Lest the roaming beasts of prey
Tear his little lambs away.

2 Jesus, Shepherd of the sheep,
Pastures fresh and green doth keep,
Where the streams of life do flow,
There his lambs may eat and grow.

3 Jesus, Shepherd of the sheep,
Under-shepherds oft doth keep,
Parents, teachers, friends in need,
Who the little lambs may feed.

4 Jesus, Shepherd of the sheep,
Every lamb will surely keep,
No rude enemy shall dare
Pluck them from his loving care.

5 Jesus, Shepherd of the sheep,
Still a better fold doth keep--
Up, where heavenly pastures spring,
Every little lamb he'll bring.
